You do realize that the vast majority of your comment was concerning race? That's fact. The reason your comment is racist is because the fact of the ethnicity of the people working in kitchens had ZERO to do with your supposedly main point, which was that the reason a steak is served rare is due to the time savings of the cooks. If your point were valid (which it's not by the way) the ethnicity of the cooks would have no bearing on why they are serving steaks rare; their ethnicity is completely extraneous to their motives. HOWEVER, in mentioning their ethnicity as you do in your post, you insinuate that perhaps other ethnicities would not be in such a hurry and therefore cook your steak properly. Basically you made a weakly veiled racist comment stating your belief is that steaks are undercooked because immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, or Peru, are lazy assholes. On top of that you proclaimed that those of us who enjoy our meat properly cooked, rare in the case of a quality cut, are dupes. Not only have you insulted our intelligence with your paper-thin witticism on race, you have insulted our very meat savvy! Fortunately for most of us we possess the 14 or so brain cells required to see through your hubris-laden opinion, and some of us even have the 35 living brain cells required to expose your silly posts subtext. Looks like youre the asshole.
Open mouth, insert foot. Where do I start with you?

Actually that's wrong. You said "If you order it to the chef's specifications, it's invariably rare". I pointed out that the error in that statement lies in the fact that the chef actually doesn't cook your food. If you order your steak "to the chef's specifications" you're not getting a rare steak because some highly trained food snob thinks that the way it should be served you're getting a rare steak because some poor overworked, underpaid schlub who's likely here from a different country (a fact) and can outcook any 3-star Michelin chef in the country needs to get that order out ASAP so his station doesn't get backed up. The main point was that you expect the highly-trained chef to lord over each and every speck of food and I assure you that's not the case.

Actually that's wrong. I make a very clear comment stating the fact that most food in the US is cooked by Central/South American immigrants who are overworked and if you say "Give me whatever you feel like giving me" they will take the easy way out and give you rare steak not because they're laze but because that's what anyone would do when overworked and in the brutal conditions they face (Standing 14 hours a day in front of a 700+ degree grill).

Ahh, the icing on the cake of proving you don't know what you're talking about. Here's a pointer: in the restaurant industry a "dupe" is the piece of paper with the order that goes to each station. "Dupe" is short for "duplicate" owing to the fact that the printer that spits these out prints several duplicates of the order, often on different colored paper, so that grill, saute, fry, etc all get a copy.

See above for proof that thou dost protest too much when it comes to calling others unintelligent and assholes.
